EvaluationsPsychological Assessment & Evaluations

The first step in treating any illness is thoroughly assessing the array of factors influencing one’s symptoms and overall prognosis. Lindner Center of HOPE offers Diagnostic Assessments to help in the determination and differential diagnosis of psychiatric and cognitive conditions. By better understanding the components of an illness, clinicians can utilize targeted therapies and state-of-the-science treatment technology to help patients.

The purpose of the outpatient neuropsychological examination is to assess the clinical relationship between the brain/central nervous system and behavioral dysfunction, as well as to aid in clarifying one’s diagnosis. We take this information, along with other multidisciplinary information to make precise recommendations for the optimization of care. Our state of the art facility can cater to any neuropsychological issues that your clients may have.

The Psychological Assessment Center at Lindner Center of HOPE consists of a multidisciplinary team of professionals who treat clients ranging in age from young children to older adults. We specialize in neuropsychological, psychoeducational, and psychodiagnostic evaluations. In addition, as part of the overall neurodiagnostic assessment, collaboration with neurological and other diagnostic techniques such as brain imaging through MRI, genetic testing, medical, and nutritional consultations are available on site.
